MANILA, Oct 19 (Reuters): The Philippines' PXP Energy Corp said on Monday it was in negotiations with China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) for a joint oil and gas development in the South China Sea after President Rodrigo Duterte lifted a six-year moratorium on drilling activities in the disputed area.
